Egyptian bloggers issued a statement Thursday of the revolution's demands based on discussions among protesters in Tahrir Square since protests began on 25 January.
However, they noted these demands do not represent all the protesters' opinions.
On the top of Mubarak's resignation, demands included ending emergency law and the state security investigations apparatus, not allowing Vice President Omar Sueliman to run for president, dissolving both houses of Parliament, releasing all those detained since 25 January, lifting the curfew, dismissing university guards, referring those who perpetrated violence against peaceful protesters for investigation, dismissing the information minister, compensating store owners for losses they endured as result of curfew, and broadcasting these demands on state TV and radio.
The statement also included eight other demands to be met during the transitional phase including;
formulating a new constitution, protecting the rights of newspapers, allowing TV and radio stations to operate without being licensed in advance, implementing a minimum wage of not less than LE1200, establishing the right to form parties, syndicates and associations by notification, giving state television, radio and newspapers editorial independence, and halting security interference in communications tools including the internet.
